David Cameron’s government is viewed as out of touch with the worries of ordinary people by 82 per cent of voters, according to a new poll.

The coalition has been under almost constant attack since George Osborne’s Budget, with the cut to the top rate of income tax, the petrol panic and culture secretary Jeremy Hunt’s alleged relationship with the Murdochs hitting its popularity.

The prime minister and chancellor have even come under fire from Conservative backbenchers, and Nadine Dorries branded them ‘two arrogant posh boys who show no remorse, no contrition and no passion to want to understand the lives of others’.

Ms Dorries was previously best known for her personal life and views on abortion, but the Tory MP’s opinion of the men in Downing Street seems to have struck a chord with voters.

An Angus Reid survey for the Sunday Express found just 18 per cent of people regard the government as in touch with the concerns of ordinary people, while 82 per cent believe it is not.

The findings came on the same day that a YouGov poll for the Sunday Times gave Labour an 11-point lead over the Conservatives.

Ed Miliband’s party had the support of 40 per cent of the voters quizzed, while the Tories were back on 29 per cent.

The Liberal Democrats were backed by just 11 per cent of people, meaning they were just one point ahead of UKIP.
